Everyone Wants to Survive, Starting with a Sand Ball [Sword Three]

Not playing the game won’t affect your reading experience. Updates every other day, between 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. As Earth ascends to a higher dimension, Ye Yunhe is reborn in the game Apocalypse Road with her System. Under the blazing sun, she eagerly opens a vehicle loot box, only to find a round, plump... Silly Ball??? Just as despair sets in, a golden flash appears on the ball: 【Congratulations! You have obtained the SSS-rank talent: Lucky Carp!】 【Lucky Carp! A blessing from the East for those in dire straits. Effect: MAX Luck!】 【Balance Mechanism activated: Your starting vehicle (Silly Ball) is now bound and cannot be changed.】 Ye Yunhe: “...” Other people open loot boxes and get random surprises. When she opens one, she makes a wish. “Bring me food!” And so, while her former teammates scrimped and gnawed on moldy bread amid swarms of insects, Ye Yunhe set up a hot pot buffet by the side of the road. “Bring me martial arts manuals!” And so, while others fought tooth and nail over a single iron blade, Ye Yunhe wielded her twin swords, [Sword Shatters the Void], leaving monsters paralyzed on the spot. “Bring me advanced vehicle upgrade blueprints!” And so, while others pedaled their bicycles for dear life, Ye Yunhe rode her Yellow Chicken Cannon and “nuked” an entire dungeon into submission. Just as Ye Yunhe was coasting to victory with her absurdly good luck, perfectly executing her strategy of “the more you lie low, the more you gain,” a sudden global announcement rang out: 【Warning! Forced cross-server dungeon [Earth Ascends to a Higher Dimension] has opened! The top ten players across all servers, enter immediately!】 Ye Yunhe: “...?” Before her Silly Ball had even come to a stop, blue-and-red sacred flames tore through the mist ahead, cast by a shadow. Where the blade flashed, a mountain-sized monster split in two, its chunks thudding to the ground. Ye Yunhe looked at the abs-baring, hooded man posing coolly atop a mountain of corpses, then glanced at his ID: Sang... Sang Biao? 【Ding! ‘Blessing in Dire Straits: Resonance’ detected! Forced party formation in progress...】 【SSS-rank talent ‘Lucky Carp’ rules have ascended: Your ‘Luck’ can now affect your party.】 【Balance Mechanism activated: Forced mission initiated. Gather all the sweet potatoes and lead Earth to ascend to a higher dimension. Countdown: 30 days! Failure will result in the elimination of all players!】 【Current progress: 2/20.】 Ye Yunhe: “Huh?!! Me??? I’m supposed to lead... Sang Biao???” Special thanks to [Wei Momo] for providing Ye Yunhe and Sang Biao’s character cards!!! Content warnings: 1. The main couple is set in stone. This is a plot-driven, feel-good power fantasy, not a story centered on a female protagonist’s personal journey. It starts with survival and later shifts to an ensemble cast. Both leads have mental illnesses and are not perfect characters. 2. Actors are welcome to audition throughout the serial run. In the app: synopsis page → pinned comment. On PC: Chapter One → Featured. Teachers, come play a role~ My writing is still evolving, so please be understanding if I don’t perfectly capture everyone’s charm~ 3. This story removes the game-knowledge barrier, so you can read it as a feel-good, everyone-for-themselves survival story. The main cast is a group of Jian Wang 3 players. Jian Wang 3 is an MMORPG with a story and a player base that embraces all kinds of pairings: BL, GL, GB, BG, non-humans, centaurs, and more. ABB is a symbol of good luck in the game, and some supporting characters have ABB names. Some Jian Wang 3 players like to portray themselves as cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, or other animals. The main pairing here is traditional BG, and the supporting cast features brotherly and sisterly bonds. There is no intentional BL or GL direction, so please read the warnings as needed. 4. The golden finger is overpowered, the characters are jaded office workers, and the story is absurd. The writing prioritizes dramatic tension and wish fulfillment, with an original setting. 5. The outline and ideas are already set, so I politely decline writing advice. Everyone has different tastes. If anything makes you uncomfortable while reading, don’t ruin your mood by forcing yourself to continue. Feel free to exit using the top-left button.

Please follow and bookmark! -------- Gao Yunshu transmigrates into a book. Her parents do everything they can to support her, and she gets into an interstellar aristocratic academy. If nothing goes wrong, she’s about to enter a complicated love triangle with the school bully and a spoiled rich kid, complete with all the classic drama: “Lose your memory, jump off a building, and run away while pregnant,” and “Pin you by the waist with red-rimmed eyes and swear my life is yours.” Gao Yunshu: ...Does it really have to be this dramatic? Gao Yunshu wants no part of the melodrama. She avoids every possible confrontation involving the male lead or his rival, yet still gets cornered by the school bully and the rich kid in the mech repair room. At the critical moment, Gao Yunshu’s System finally makes its dazzling entrance. Grand Summoning Art: Myriad Flower Mech! Looking at the chubby “Tang Dynasty figurine” that doesn’t even have an engine, the school bully bursts out laughing. Three minutes later, who says creations from the age of cold weapons can’t be mechs? The chubby mech stuns the aristocratic academy with a one-versus-two victory. Gao Yunshu makes a name for herself in one battle and represents her school in the Intercollegiate Mech Tournament. The entire interstellar community assumes she’s a pretty vase, gaining fame on her looks alone. After all, the mech riding a horse is hers, the dancing mech is hers, and the mech firing arrows is hers too. It’s only when she reaches the top atop the remains of the Zerg Queen that everyone suddenly realizes: this is real killing! The award ceremony is broadcast live across the stars, and people weep as they call Gao Yunshu the “Interstellar Rose.” The school bully and the rich kid tremble beneath the stage. Meanwhile, mech engineers across the stars go mad, pointing at the incomprehensible control data on the StarNet backend and screaming: “How can one person own and fully control 21 mechs?!!!” Beneath a massive holographic projection, 21 ancient, fearsome Eastern mechs of all shapes and sizes stand in formation behind Gao Yunshu, arrayed across the stars. Facing the horrified crowd, Gao Yunshu’s nonchalant voice rings out across the interstellar community: Don’t ask. The answer is simple: Sweet potatoes really can pilot mechs. Theme: A true hero serves the country and its people.
